PRECIOUS DECLARATION

by Collective Soul

>From the album: Disciplined Breakdown

To start off, if you want to play along with the CD, you have to

tune your guitar down half a step. It's not a very difficult song

to play. The hardest part is that awesome killer riff that starts

off the song and occurs at different places throughout. Well here

it is, enjoy!

Drums enter then guitar one starts of with the following riff:

Riff 1

An alternate way of playing this if your distortion tends to get

muddy with the open strings ringing is like this:

Guitar one plays this riff twice on it's own and is then joined

by guitar 2 and played twice more. After that the first verse

begins.

The verses are a combination of a muted G power chord and Riff 1

Verse

G Riff 1 (twice)

Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town

G Riff 1 (twice)

Then proceeded..............no longer found

The prechourus has a couple of clean or slightly distorted guitars

plus the lead (which is not tabbed). Open chords sound best here.

The C chord is actually a Cadd9, it sounds better with the Cadd9

you can get by with just a regular C

Prechourus:

GCan't crash Cnow I've been waiting for this

GWon't crash Cnow I found some encouragement

In the chourus, the guitars become distorted again. More

power chords here

Chourus:

GPrecious declaration reads yours

is mine you leave Calone now

GPrecious declaration says I

believe all hope is dead Cno longer D♯

The only other part different from the above parts is the bridge

which is just distorted power chords

Bridge

AOnce I jumped through hoops of fire

BHigh and far as you required

AI was blind but now I see

SalBvation has discovered me D

The rest of the song is just repeats of the above sections.

Listen to the song, they are to figure out. I've been working

on the leads a little. If any one has sugestions for them maybe

you could post them or add them to this file.
